Need some help finding a new pair of park skis!

So I'm in that type of situation once again. The left binding on my old pair of Salomon Suspects literally exploded upon landing and the screw holes apare to be quite rotten. I don't think trying to fix them would be such a good idea, or? Anyways, I'm really interested in buying another pair, without bindings. I got an even older pair of suspects with some STH12 bindings on them which have been working great, the only question is would this be wise? Putting some old bindings on a new pair of skis? I've decided that K2 is my new brand of choice. The reviews I've read supports the durabilty of the K2 skis, something I'm really interested in. Salomon Suspect skis have great riding capabilities, but the durabilty is another matter. So, I'm either thinking the K2 Recoil or Domain. Is there any other K2 skis that I should consider? Or any other brand for that matter? Please help me out, much appreciated.
 
Check out the atomic punx! they are really durable, poppy, buttery, and just a great park ski.
 
Not BAD durabilty, but my buddy has had two pairs this year, they seem to hold up fine for normal park abuse, but the sidewalls seem to be weaker than the average ski. He landed on a rock and blew a hole right through the edge, sidewall, and topsheet, you could look right through the ski. He almost did the same thing with his second pair, the second time he just bent the edge a lot.

Great ski, but they are super light and fairly inexpensive, but they won't last quite as long as some other skis.
 
he should probably stop landing on rocks. but yeah the edges are a little weak. the 2012/2013 ones do have thicker sidewalls though
